Supreme Court Decision On
Equal Rights For Negroes Not
Final Answer To Race Issue
By JAMES MARLOW
WASHINGTON UP It may be some time maybe years before
all the southern states fall in line with the supreme court's decision
on equal higher education for Negroes.
What the court said in effect was this: When a state supports
a school of higner education for whites, like the graduate school
of a state university, it must:
1. Admit Negiuen, so they'll get
equal-education, or
2. Provide a school equally good
for Negroes. But in the end the
court, not the state, will decide
what's equal.,
. When it handed down that de-

cision, the court was speaking only
to the state of Texas, or, rather, to
the law school of the University of
iexas.
Docs that mean the other south
ern states must immediately start
admitting Negroes to their state-
supported schools of higher educa
tion or immediately start building
equally good ones for Negroes?
Not necessarily. Louisiana, for
Instance, could refuse to let
Negro into its state medical school
and still not be in contempt of the
supreme court. Why?
Because the court addressed its
opinion to Texas, not to Louisiana
But if Texas, refused now, it would
be in contempt.
Suppose now Louisiana refuses to
do what the supreme court said
Texas must do.
Then almost surely in Louisiana
or any other southern state which
refused, a Negro could start a
court fight, backed by the National
Association for the Advancement
of Colored People.
When that case reached the su
preme court, it's reasonable to be
lieve the decision about equal
treatment for Negroes would be the

same, or similar to, the decision
the court gave in the Texas case.
Why? Because the court in its
ruling definitely said how it feels
on the subject of equal education
for Negroes. It repeatedly has said
this.
Court Unanimous
And there's another reason why
the south can't expect the present
court to take a view very different
in the future on a similar case.
It's this: The opinion in the Texas
case was unanimous. All nine jus
tices agreed.
If a batch of the present nine
justices died in the next few years
or resigned and were succeeded by
justices with different views, then
some future decision might be
different.
But these present justices seem
healthy enough to live a good while

and none of the nine has shown any
indication of resigning his lifetime

So, it would seem, the most the
other states could do is to delay
following the decision laid down
for Texas. Some years might be
used up in doing that, because of
me court tignts.
Such delayi in other fields have
happened many times.
But you can be sure Negroes will
fight this through everywhere, even
though it takes years, just as they
have been fighting for years in
other fields to win through supreme
court decisions.
The court, through its decision.
has driven deeper its wedge into
the power of a southern state to
deny Negroes higher education or
to segregate them while giving
them equal education.
Remember: The decision was on
higher education only. The court
said notning about high schools or
grammar schools.
Hungary's New
Lutheran Bishop
Favors Red Rule
BUDAPEST, Hungary, June IS
P) Hungary's largest diocese of
the Lutheran church has a new
bishop who favors cooperation with
the country's Communist-led gov
ernment. The new prelate, the Rev. Laszlo
Dezsery. 36. succeeds former Bish
op Lajos Ordass. Ordass last month
was released from prison after ser
ving almost 20 months of a two
year sentence for currency specu
lation. He had been removed from
office by a special church court on
April 2.
(Both Ordass' conviction and his
removal from office were protested
by the Lutheran world federation,
He was convicted of failing to re
port a $500,000 gift from U.S. Lu
therans. The lederation said tne
gift amounted to $200,000, that it
was transmitted through the Hun
garian national bank, and that it
thus became a matter of record.)
Dezsery in 1948 attacked Josef
Cardinal Mindszenty, head oi nun
earv s Roman Catholic nierarcny
as a representative of "royalist,
feudal absolutism." Mindszenty
now is serving a life sentence for
treason.
The new Lutheran bishop, one of
the youngest ever to hold such of
fice in Hungary, in a 30-page "open
letter" in 1948 urged his church to
seek conciliation with the country's
Communist-led government. It was
considered apparent here that he
had been named to succeed Ordass
because of the views expressed in
the widely circulated pamphlet.
In the tract Dezsery said after
the war Lutheran pastors "became
the slaves of reactionary masses."
The church, he warned, must rec
ognize that "we are in a socialist
revolution, a world phenomenon
which cannot be fought with
arms."
Hungary's Lutheran church num
bers about 500,000 members, or
approximately six percent of the
population. The Roman Catholic
followers number about 65 percent.

TOKYO, June 13, UP) Frank
Hawley, Tokyo correspondent for
the London Times, said today he
has been advised he is considered
"persona nongrata" by General
MacArthur's headquarters.
Persona nongrata means a per
son that is not acceptable.
There was no move to restrict
Hawley's privileges and no request
tor him to leave Japan.
Hwley said he was told head
quarters considers his reports on
Japan and the occupation " subjec
tive and not objective.
Hawley said Major Gen. E, M.
Almond, MacArthur's chief of staff,
told him on June 8 a careful study
of his dispatches by headquarters
proved his opposition to Com"1"
nism. So it was difficult for head
quarters therefore to understand
why he could "criticize MacAr
thur's administration."
The Times man said Almond
told him "no accredited corres
pondent should publish any news
likely to interfere with MacArthur's
objectives. Those who do so might
be considered security risks."
Hawley said Almond informed
him that any correspondent could
be expelled as a "security risk."
Hawley said he was advised by
a MacArthur aide six months ago
that the general objected to some
of his dispatches because of cer
tain "inaccuracies." Hawlev said
he never has been able to deter
mine what MacArthur deemed
"inaccurate."
The incident apparently arose
out of a Hawley dispatch which
said a Japanese ban on demon
strations was unconstitutional
and which said Japanese police
had asked to return to occupation
autnorities tne pistols given them
by the Americans some time ago.
